What do u think. Should i disclose my status or no. Because the law said hiv is not a barrier. So why should i mentioned it??

Advice

You should apply for a medical waiver.  Take less than 2 months to ger a answer

People with HIV infection are less likely to have an abnormal chest x-ray during tuberculosis disease; and negative IGRA results do not rule out tuberculosis disease, thus all applicants with known HIV infection must provide sputum specimens for microscopy and culture regardless of IGRA and chest x-ray results in order to rule out tuberculosis disease.

 

Thanks. So that means that person needs to do the sputum test .
